Event Details
Yu Kung and Crystal Liu, members of the British Chamber of Commerce Shanghai, are more used to making commercials, but earlier this year, they set upon documenting their neighbours' lockdown experiences as well as their own. The film was picked up and broadcast in many countries via The Smithsonian Channel.
The documentary charts the challenges as well as the hopes and fears felt by all of us during the early days of the pandemic in Shanghai. In the weeks that followed, it became an experience the rest of the world could relate to as millions around the globe began, and continue to, grapple with their own countries' lockdowns.
This film was not aired in China, however, The British Chamber of Commerce Shanghai are pleased to invite all members and friends to join us for a special screening on the evening of Thursday, 4th March. You will also get to meet the filmmakers, Yu and Crystal and hear how they brought their documentary to the TV screens during such challenging times.
Storyline:
We know the symptoms of the virus, but what are the symptoms of lockdown?
We set out our film-making journey with this question in mind and find out the answers from the eyes of our neighbours.
Lockdown stories from one Shanghai building block.
Produced by Campfire Productions and Wonderhood Studios for Smithsonian Channel.
Premiered and globally aired via Smithsonian Channel since May 25th, 2020.
2019年底，武汉疫情爆发，不久，全国封锁。
新年的二月，隔离在家，我们用镜头记录自己和同一栋楼里邻居的居家防疫生活，最终剪辑成一部完整的纪录片，叫：COVID: Our Lockdown in Shanghai，并通过美国高端纪录片频道Smithsonian频道全球放映。
拍摄纪录片的初衷，想要记录这一段前所未有的奇特经历，不能去武汉，就原地取材，采访和拍摄同一栋楼里的邻居，展现不同家庭的"居家隔离症状"。
